hi, i've been researching a lot on lowering our 7th gens and so i went with the tein s tech+tokico blues combo for a decent drop. so i bought the s tech back in april and i also ordered front+rear spc camber kit. the only thing that i am missing are the tokicos but the problem is that im real short on cash. school is starting soon and i know i cant spend anymore money on my car. my car is still at stock height and i wanna drop it real bad. should i go ahead and install the s techs on the stock shocks or wait until next spring and purchase the tokicos and install all together? i know that if i go ahead and install now, i will be paying for second alignment when i get the tokicos shocks next year. do you think my stock shock can go through another winter if i install the springs?

keep it stock till u get the tokicos. it'll save u the time, energy, and frustration (or labor+$$$ if someone else is doing it).

there is nothing wrong with riding stock.

plus you'll blow out ur stock suspension faster if u lower them on the teins.

just advise from the wise.
